While it is well accepted that this introduces bias and imprecision in exposure-outcome relations, it is unclear to what extent such issues are currently considered in research practice.
A potential limitation of these conventional networks is that the edges only reflect the information of within-features or within-outcomes relations, and do not consider the association between features and outcomes, which may be useful in improving the predictive power.
We applied multivariate methods for assessing the exposure-outcome relations.
Our study adds to the limited knowledge on specific comorbidity asthma outcome relations throughout adult life.
In the crude analysis, incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of the relations between exposure and outcome relations were estimated.
But aggregation may simultaneously weaken covariate-exposure and/or covariate-outcome relations, reducing prioritization in the Bross formula [ 19].
► We tested whether these aspects of agency are differentially affected by sequential patterns of action-outcome relations.
As previously reported, 23 studies that have shown volume-outcome relations on cross sectional analysis have subsequently found no relation between changes in volume and outcome over time.
Future studies should compare meconium and other validated biomarkers of exposure with infant or child health outcomes in well characterized exposure-outcome relations.
However, aggregation may also weaken covariate-exposure and/or covariate-outcome relations and reduce variable prioritization in the Bross formula [ 19].
We tested the trend in the exposure-outcome relations in logistic regression by fitting an ordinal scale exposure variable (0,1,2,3) based on the exposure categories.
